THAT SACRILEGE. ogise for and no word to alter of what ( and prays 1 and waited for the LLsirc we have said in its condemnation unless to come the tub dawned u; on the j we could find a s ronger term to insert mi <d ot a pri ).-t that as God worked in j natural ways, the Messiah would have ! to be made. r lhere was nothing im pure in this ; it. was lofty and noble. r l hen Jesus was bom. lit- was early taught that He was to save his people. He was “r dsel up” with the idea con tinually th-ust upon him that Ho was the M ess i ah. So, in af er years, when Lnzarus was his dear good friend, and Marv and Martin made the litt-.e home at i ethany so pleasant fur him, it A’as perfectly natural that he riioud have acted as “very man,” and huve given his heart in perfect, lovo to one. Accordingly, wo find in the narrative by John where is said that Jesus loved Martha, and then is added, “and her sister and Lazarus.” I speculate upon this ; upon the pre eminence given to Martha, for the others seem to have been added just as a sort of corallary. I also speculate upon the word which appears in the original —’Agapa. This is the same word which appears in Lord Byron’s famous poem, “Zoa mou nan apupo.” You see I admit that I speculate.— There’s nothing wrong aboui it. Your pr achers do, theologians do. every one who reads the Bib’e does. The above is the foundation of my novel. The tender passages present themselves. Every one is able to under st.ind the fearful doubts which came to the mind of the Best Mart. Those great drops of b ood wlrch He sweat in the garden ; every scene of sorrow, dis trust and agony become doubly signifi '•ant; the struggles between His love for Martha and His sublime ambition to redeem His people are seen to be more intensely fierce. Then, as he grew in heavenly wisdom, and rose in m ignificent triumph above worldly things, acquiring mor i and more fayor with God, until lie attained His high destiny, and upon the cross really be came the Savior, the Redeemer the Prince of Peace fie grew into [)ivin ity. IJ its dyin' r sentence--“it is finish ed,” means nothing less. This is a shor , and I fear* incohe rent outline of the work upon which I am uow engaged. Can you as a sane mun ca l it “poisonous” or dead y ? To me it seems to be more beautiful than a poet ; 8 dream of heaven, or an angel’s golden vision of things that are highest. Young Journalist. Atlanta, Ga., Jauuary 16th, 1883. Last week we copied an item from an exchange, whioh stated that a young journalist of Atlanta was writing a nov el called ** Jesus the Nazarene,” which novel contains a ficticious story of the love—the human love, as we understand it—of Jesus for one of Lazarus’ sisters. We commented upon the Above named paragraph in plain language —it would have been severe could we have com manded Kng ish to have made it so.-— ~ These reum-ks brings “the young jour »>nli t ’ he author of the uforeiuention o<l novel, fo. ward in a letter to b found in another column, which he *h Is “self exp anatory.” and iu whicu ‘'‘the »cuing journalist” is pleased to dub our language ‘Shabby and un just.” So mote it be. We believed wrimi then that any such writing was “a sac rilege,” and we have not changed oui < pinion. Neither can wc appreciate fhe high regard iu which “the younc journalist” professes to hold religion und the name of the Messiah while he brings one into contempt and disrobes the other of Hie divinity, and places the Son of God upon the same plane trith sinful inorta man. Such a work »—a work of fiction - writfefl^h a popu tr and at ractivc^tyle, (the more at always open to the discussion of any queston of public interest when con ducted in decent, dignified tefais from any Source—more especially to one whom we have an’agon’zed. IS DIFFERENCE TO GRANT. The po ser heretofore exercised by ex-Pre ident Grant to a tract public attention, is evidently rapidly waning But a few years ago he was th central point of a traction wherever he went; and only a few years since, the govern ment, controlled by the Radical party —contrary to all law aud prece ! ent— furnished him an expensively equiped national vessel and a crew of United States seamen, and perhaps other per quisites. with which, in the grandeur of royalty, to travel over Europe for four years. His D ime was forever on every Nor them tongue, and filled the public journals. But things have changed, und five years from to-day his u one wil 1 be as .seldom heard as it has here tofore been frequent. He is fust being relegated to oblivion. The fo lowing from the Hartford Times’ New York let er tel s the who’e story ; A few nights ago l witnessed a s'rik- ing manifestation of the indifference with which the urcat (irant is uow re garded by the public. It was in Booth’s theatre, and a good many comments were made up. n it in the course of the evening. Grant and a farm y party oc cupied a second- ier box, and seemed a good dea interested in Modjesk i as “Frou-Frou.” Grant himself had the most conspicuous se it, the outside one nearest the stage, and in fu 1 view of th • audience. Almost, every eye in the house could see Tim as plainly as if he bad not been twenty f et. away, and it looked very much like he oocti’ied that particul r seat because he wanted lo be s en. Did the and.ence pay attention to him ? Not a bit. He was recog nized the moment he entered, but no one seemed to think of him a second time. His box attracted hardly any more notice thau if its chief occupant was Tom Smith, the successiul butcher, or Uick Brown, the oil man As he made his way out with the crowd after the peifortuan *e, a few beads were turned for a closer loo < at hi u, but the looks were of mere, curiosi y. Not a soul seemed to feel that there was the least honor in being iu the same crowd with the once mightv U \sses. It was the first time l had seen him in a tliea: re since one night when he and President Lincoln were together at Ford’* theatre, in Washington. What greatness he has since seen, and yet how unimportant he is to-day. When he rides up and d >wn the elevated road to and from his office, those who travel in the seine train hardly notice him. A soto voice remark nowand them “That’s Grant,” is about the only tribute he receives from hi-grate ful couQtrymeu. But he is “wo 1 fixed.” as the saying goes, and no doubt he feels that it is all right. THE H A.CJItll .10Orb'j.
